I bought a quart maybe about a year or two ago. 75W140 full syn. With my discount at the dealer, I remember it being about a dollar per ounce. Probably more now. But it does appear to be excellent stuff. Edit: When I bought my 04 Explorer with limited-slip rear diff, it would chatter really bad...

A few years ago my daughter purchased a 2013 Toyota Corolla with about 185k miles on it. With the recommended 0W20, it burned a lot of oil (I forget the exact amount anymore). Once we switched it to 5W30, it would still burn a little, but significantly less. About 230k on it now, I believe it...

It is a very long story, but I am thinking I may need to replace the PCM in my 2004 Ford Explorer. Does anyone have experience or know where a good quality reman unit could be purchased from? Over the years, Ford has had some updates for the throttle by wire system (which 04 was the first year...

Perhaps you could do a separate post in the general vehicle section with more details and a lot more photos of your truck, engine, etc. Looks beautiful (and expensive).

@JHZR2 So, what causes this blue/green corrosion? You mentioned it in your previous posts above, but focused more on the white corrosion. A couple times now I have cleaned everything really well, used a new battery washer and anti-corrosion grease, but it looks like this again in a matter of...

2006 Toyota Tacoma, 2.7L 143k on truck 6,500 OCI Out: M1 T&SUV 5W30 / Fram Ultra In: M1 T&SUV 5W30 (5.5Qt) / Napa Gold Used about 16 oz of oil over the course of the OCI

I have a bone stock, base model 2006 Tacoma, 2.7L, RWD. It has the steel 15x6 wheels. I really think this tire/wheel combo in your photos made a huge difference in looks, for probably not too much money. My concern is you said the offset made some "quirks". I am not familiar with buying...

2021 Toyota RAV4 / 2.5L 42,875 on vehicle Out: Castrol EDGE 0W20 / 5,933 OCI Fram Titanium FS4967 / 11,610 - 2 OCI In: Castrol EDGE 0W20, 4.5Qt / Toyota 90915-YZZN1 filter Rotated tires.

Back to OP original question: From my understanding (which is often flawed, at best): Running 93 does not help prevent intake valve deposits, but it does help reduce fuel dilution in the oil. I'm a little foggy on the reason: If lower octane fuel is used, the system pumps more fuel in to cool...

Well, like usual for me, a long delay, but I am finally giving an update. I went to the local Spectrum store and got a new modem for "free". It has their own Spectrum markings on it, not sure who makes it for them. Sticker says "PC20". I purchased the TpLink Deco mesh system listed a few posts...

I was just wondering about this. I was going to make a new thread but searched and found this. My question: How many people routinely replace their washer hoses? If yes, how often? Has anyone ever actually had a hose or wash machine burst/leak?

I would like to buy a DeWalt drill. I already have an impact, two batteries, and a charger. Seems like Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. are all $99 for a "kit": drill, spare battery, bag, etc. Amazon has a couple listings for bare tools; but they seem "too good to be true". Do you suppose they are...

My son-in-law recently had a new windshield installed in his 18 Civic. When the technician installed the new windshield, he then switched to his sales side. He told my son-in-law that unless he had the technician install new wiper blades for $60, the old blades could scratch the new windshield...

I have a 2006 2wd I4 Access Cab. I agree, that in NH you may not want a 2wd pick-up. I disagree that they are "horribly uncomfortable". I rather enjoy long trips in it.
